There was an Old Lady who swallowed some leaves

I love all of the Little Old Lady books. Back in October we readThere Was An Old Lady Who Swallowed Some Leaves!. I saw this idea on pinterest from Teach Them To Fly and decided that it would be fun to do with my students. I could not find a shirt and pants pattern that I liked so, I drew my own. If you would like a copy of it, just leave me a comment and I will scan and email it to you.
The students colored each piece and cut out the pants on their own. I helped with the shirt if needed (this had A LOT of fine motor practice). I used a die cut for the pumpkin head. I used PowerPoint to remove the backgrounds from photos of my students to have just their faces. Then I printed and cut out their faces and attached to the scarecrow bodies. The other preschool teacher did not add the photos to the pumpkins. I think both came out really cute (although my son says mine scares him and his friends when they walk past my classroom)!
